A review of the characterization of principal bundles, through the different properties of the action of a group and its related canonical and translation maps, is presented. The work is divided in three stages: a topological group acting…
We define double principal bundles (DPBs), for which the frame bundle of a double vector bundle, double Lie groups and double homogeneous spaces are basic examples. It is shown that a double vector bundle can be realized as the associated…
In this work, generalized principal bundles modelled by Lie group bundle actions are investigated. In particular, the definition of equivariant connections in these bundles, associated to Lie group bundle connections, is provided, together…
Given a Lie group G, one constructs a principal G-bundle on a manifold X by taking a cover U of X, specifying a transition cocycle on the cover, and descending the trivialized bundle along the cover. We demonstrate the existence of an…
Let $X$ be a connected complex manifold equipped with a holomorphic action of a complex Lie group $G$. We investigate conditions under which a principal bundle on $X$ admits a $G$--equivariance structure.
In this paper we establish the principal bundle counterpart of the well-known and widely applied notion of vector bundle groupoid (VB-groupoid). In particular, we provide a general notion of principal bundle groupoid (PB-groupoid) as a…
Topological T-duality is a transformation taking a gerbe on a principal torus bundle to a gerbe on a principal dual-torus bundle. We give a new geometric construction of T-dualization, which allows the duality to be extended in following…
A theory of principal bundles possessing quantum structure groups and classical base manifolds is presented. Structural analysis of such quantum principal bundles is performed. A differential calculus is constructed, combining differential…
For a strict Lie 2-group, we develop a notion of Lie 2-algebra-valued differential forms on Lie groupoids, furnishing a differential graded-commutative Lie algebra equipped with an adjoint action of the Lie 2-group and a pullback operation…
In the present paper we study bundles equipped with extra homotopy conditions, in particular so-called simplicial $n$-bundles. It is shown that (under some condition) the classifying space of 1-bundles is the double coset space of some…
Motivated by the computations done in \cite{C1}, where I introduced and discussed what I called the groupoid of generalized gauge transformations, viewed as a groupoid over the objects of the category $\mathsf{Bun}_{G,M}$ of principal…
We give a rather general construction of double categories and so, under further conditions, double groupoids, from a structure we call a `double module'. We also give a homotopical construction of a double groupoid from a triad consisting…
Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth complex projective variety. Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$. We define the notion of Lie algebroid valued connection on holomorphic principal $G$--bundles on $X$, and study their basic…
We introduce the notion of a Lie semiheap as a smooth manifold equipped with a para-associative ternary product. For a particular class of Lie semiheaps we establish the existence of left-invariant vector fields. Furthermore, we show how…
We extend the notion of T-duality to manifolds endowed with non-principal torus actions. The singularities of the torus action are controlled by a certain Lie algebroid, called the elliptic tangent bundle. Using this Lie algebroid, we…
We consider the existence of bibundles, in other words locally trivial principal $G$ spaces with commuting left and right $G$ actions. We show that their existence is closely related to the structure of the group $\Out(G)$ of outer…
Taking into account the correspondence between open groupoids and their quantales, we establish a bijective correspondence between the principal $G$-bundles whose left projection is an open surjection and the principal $\opens(G)$-locales…
We introduce the concept of a graded bundle which is a natural generalization of the concept of a vector bundle and whose standard examples are higher tangent bundles T^nQ playing a fundamental role in higher order Lagrangian formalisms.…
We consider the problem of existence of representations of topological groupoids on a principal bundle and the classification of such representations up to gauge transformation. Such representations naturally occur in various contexts such…
We introduce Lie-Nijenhuis bialgebroids as Lie bialgebroids endowed with an additional derivation-like object. They give a complete infinitesimal description of Poisson-Nijenhuis groupoids, and key examples include Poisson-Nijenhuis…
